Lay Llamas / Tetuan
(Split)

Reviewed by BravoMarco

Italian label “ArteTetra” putting out some quality experimental with that rock-ish psychedelic tinge. Intense sounds using all the tricks to grab hold of you. Prog / Kraut rock, X, Ambient, these tracks mix it all up.

Like: lay Llamas – Bardo Pond
Like: Tetuan – Kalascima, Can
All are very good.
No FCC’s (Instrumentals)

1) Lay Llamas - The Big Calm Sea Of The Transition (20.24) Lush drone sounds coming right at you from the off. Builds up energy & pace to produce a real feast. Rich textures at play here. Could be whale song mixing in with the bongos. Escape to this… All out trippy assault from the halfway mark.
2) Tetuan - Juju (5.25) Funking it up with elements from all over the place. Hard working guitars keep this one on course.
3) Tetuan – Lame Rose (9.49) Retains that dance feel whilst going on a passionate ambient journey.
